Re: Neji vs Kimimaro

Kimimaro takes this. As already pointed out, Kidomaru was able to block the Gentle Fist with his web armor. Thus Kimimaro should be able to do likewise by creating a layer of bones beneath his skin, as he did against Gaara. And since that layer of bone wouldn't prevent him from moving or attacking, Kimimaro can block off Neji's attack without limiting his own ability to attack.

Re: Neji vs Kimimaro

Kidomaru's web blocks chakra, wehich is the only reason he survived Neji's first attack.

However, we don't know if the same applies for Kimimaro's bones, and Jyuuken can go past the ribs at least, sionce it damages the lungs and the heart.
And, according to Neji, Jyuuken techniques can invade and destroy chakra made materials, such as Kimamaro's bones: http://www.mangareader.net/93-202-7/...apter-197.html

So, Neji's Jyuuken should flow through his bones and hit Kimimaro where it hurts.

But his golden skin has the special propriety of blocking chakra, as far as we know, Kimimaro's bones don't: he said that they were normal bones condensed with chakra, and if chakra could block Jyuuken, would could it pass the chakra network to hit the vital organs?

Re: Neji vs Kimimaro

I am giving this to good old kimimaru due to range. Neji does not seem to have anything that could significantly hurt kimimaru in the mid to long ranges while in turn kimimaru has enough range with firepower to kill neji 10 times over. A close range fight is not necessarily good for neji either. Even in such an scenario kimimaru has bones coming out of everywhere. kimimaru is practical in that he does not need fancy techniques to kill with his bones, he just have to run into the enemy and impale them. Any spot neji tries to hit is a potential new location for more bones to come out and strike.

Thanks to the Byakugan, neji can see every bone growing from Kimimaro and block it with his heavenly spin and also anticipate the bone forest and kimimaro appearing from one of the branches.
All Neji needs is one touch in Kimimaro's chest to cripple him for the rest of the fight.

Re: Neji vs Kimimaro

this is a tough fight,i'll hold my vote until tomorrow. this is a good fight. Neji byakugan(gentle fist style in combination with the Byakugan) vs kimimaro's Shikotsumyaku,would utilize dances and flower and together are as strong as steel.

Re: Neji vs Kimimaro

I'll go for Neji. Kimimaro is really stronger but Neji pretty much has tailor made skills to destroy Kimimaro. Bone can not block Neji's empty palm nor 64 plams, menaing he will get hit from afar or up close fact is while Neji is "slower" the rythm of his attacks are far more superior (64 palms speed is simply ridiculous). I know people are going to vote for Kimi and perhaps he's going to win but when your most basic skill is defence and you go against someone that can ignore it things are pretty much done. While the spear and the whip are cool Neji's most recent skill (full body empty attack) renders Kimi's tackle as second best. I, personally, can't grasp how Kimimaro can possibly win despite seeming the superior fighter.

To in infer something and pose it as implied in the source is to justify something.
The justification that an arc or a story sucks because the author is as tired as us from it can't apply since it's the author's fault it sucks to begin with.

Heavenly spin would work if neji gets a chance to actually spin though. If neji goes on the effensive he will not be so easily capable of doing that. Seeing where the bone is coming out from is not that much of big deal either as kimimaru can make bone come from anywhere on his body. Best neji could do is avoid attacking locations which have bone growing out of them which means he won't be able to attack. For neji to land a blow he would have to avoid the bones already coverning kimimaru's body and any potential new bones which could sprout at a reasonable speed.

So you've basically got two things contradicting each other, with the skin coming out on top. If anything created by chakra could be taken out by Jyuuken, it would've taken out the golden skin, which definitely has chakra in it.

You've got your assumption, and I've got mine. I don't think Jyuuken takes out every single thing with chakra in it, and I haven't seen it penetrate something with noted defense (like Gaara's sand or something). Therefore, I'm assuming he can't harm Kimimaro with it once Kimimaro knows what the attacks can do to him.

Re: Neji vs Kimimaro

Kimimaru's bone armor is insanely strong but we have no idea as of how well it would work to actually block chakra. The golden skin specifically blocked chakra but that is not necessarily the case for kimimaru's bones. Even then, there is a very real chance of neji losing a hand for using such a technique, IMO it is very unlikely kimimaru will just take 32 consecutive hits without responding. I also do think the curse seal would actually reactivate his chakra system if for some reason it is sealed....
